This episode hears from one of the US's leading paediatrician's Dr Claudia M Gold. Here she speaks about attachment theory, the power of discord – the importance of having ups and downs in relationships and how that links in to childhood trauma and especially boarding school syndrome.Some of the areas we talk about are containment, the power of being heard, rupture and mismatch and uncertainty as they relate to relationships. We also talk about Prince Harry and how his experiences of boarding school and the death of his mother Princess Diana. ---Claudia M. Gold, MD is a pediatrician and writer who practiced general and behavioral pediatrics for over 20 years and now specializes in early childhood mental health. She is on the faculty of the U-Mass Chan Medical School Early Relational Fellowship, the Brazelton Institute at Boston Children's Hospital, and the Berkshire Psychoanalytic Institute. She is a clinician with Volunteers in Medicine, Berkshires and director of the Hello It's Me Project, a community-based program supporting parent-infant relationships in high-need low resourced communities. Dr. Gold speaks frequently to a variety of audiences including parents and professionals. Some of the questions/ areas for conversation:I would love you to share some of your journey. How did you arrive at where you are now?I would love to hear you speak about the power of being heard & feeling heard.Could you explain what containment is – Winnicott, etc?I would be really interested in hearing you speak about the power of very early interactions. One of the discussions going on in the boarding school literature over here is whether the ‘attachment break' that has been seen as occurring at the point at which a child is ‘sent away' to boarding school (at 6 or 7 or 8 or 11 years old) is the key ‘break' – or whether we should be looking earlier. If you are a child born into a family that ‘belongs' to a culture/class that EXPECTS to send you away (and which may well hire a nanny for your early care), what are the impacts of being born into such a parenting culture/class? How does this change the way they expect (and do) interact with you? What happens when you layer a schooling ‘attachment break' on top of that, as opposed to the ‘break' coming as a scholarship or other unexpected ‘opportunity'? Boarding School experiences are full of unrepaired ruptures. I would love to hear you speak about the impact of those.Leading on from question 4, I would love you to speak to what age it is appropriate for a child to be separated from their parents. And is there a healthy way of doing this? What are the impacts on an adult who has been through this rupture? Are there certain symptoms?Discord P.31 – What happens if there is discord in a relationship but it is never healed? E.g. a child is sent away to board and never has a chance to speak up or heal the rupture?Certainty P.226 – I love what you say about certainty and how it “leads us away from growth and healing.” I know in Buddhism that uncertainty, (annicca – impermance) is a key teaching. Could you speak a little about the power of uncertainty in relationships.If we have been through a rupture like boarding school how do we start to heal this?How do people find out more about you and the work you do?To find out more about Claudia M Gold, please visit her website here: https://www.claudiamgoldmd.com/To buy her books please visit: https://www.claudiamgoldmd.com/#---For more information about Piers Cross and his work with trauma and boarding school syndrome: https://www.piers-cross.com/

The Power of Discord: Why Discord in Relationships is the Secret to Building Intimacy, Resilience, and Trust Show Guest: Claudia M. Gold, MD Society paints a picture that perfect harmony is the defining characteristic of healthy relationships, but the truth is that human interactions are messy, complicated, and confusing. According to renowned psychologist Ed Tronick and pediatrician Claudia Gold, that is not only okay, but it is also actually crucial to our social and emotional development. In The Power of Discord, these two pillars of UMass Boston show how working through the inevitable dissonance of human connection is the path to better relationships with romantic partners, family, friends, and colleagues. Working through the volley of mismatch and repair in everyday life helps us form deep, lasting, trusting relationships, resilience in times of stress and trauma, and a solid sense of self in the world. Drawing on Dr. Tronick's research and Dr. Gold's clinical experience, The Power of Discord is a refreshing and original look at our ability to relate to others and to ourselves.
We’re excited to bring Juliane Taylor Shore, LPC, LMFT, SEP (AKA Jules) back to the podcast — last time she joined us, on episode 18, Jules introduced us to the brain science around how to stay relational when our protective systems are activated during times of chaos, like these. In this episode we’re talking about how your relationship can help you heal…and the brain science behind why and how it works. Expect lots of delicious neurobiological explanations around how healing occurs in the subcortical system. Jules says that healing trauma means what was, is not what always will be. Think about it like this, you were born into this world with vast and varied needs: to be safe, heard, seen, soothed and to matter. Your early life experiences installed a kind of knowing around what to expect, how to react to increase wellbeing, increase safety, increase justice, or decrease suffering. But in order to cultivate the recipe for this healing experience, you need to stay inside your unique "window of tolerance". In other words, how much sympathetic nervous system charge your system can tolerate before flipping into a state of dysregulation. When you’re scared, in a state, of warning, fight, flight or a collapse you’re already outside the window of tolerance. Your brain has to be safe enough, to be in the experience of whatever the emotional knowing is without flipping your lid. Through cultivating a healing space within your relationship you can create a lasting corrective emotional experience through a process of memory reconsolidation, which is created in a magical moment when your limbic system detects a mismatch between what your experiencing in the present moment and the original experience. This episode features a brief overview of a process which we suggest undertaking with professional guidance. Consider joining Jules, Rebecca, and our colleague Vickie Easa, for a RLT Essential Skills Relationship Bootcamp this October 24th & 25th 2020 — it’s open for both couples and individuals.

Harmony in relationships is often sought as the ideal state of affairs, but can discord be even more powerful in building healthy relationships? On this episode, Dr. Claudia M. Gold discussed her new book, The Power of Discord.
Today I am joined by Ed Tronick PhD and Claudia M. Gold MD who are Authors of a new Book - The Power of Discord. Ed is a developmental neuroscientist and clinical psychologist, Claudia is a practitioner in general and behavioural paediatrics, and author of a number of books on the subject. Discord and disagreement is a fundamental part of the human experience and non more so than at this time in history - no one likes to be in conflict with another person or group but my discussion with today's guest sheds some interesting light on the beneficial nature of discord. I delve into the famous still face experiment with Ed and Claudia and find out how 'mismatch and repair' are fundamental to our development, experience and the meaning we attach to the world around us. Far be it from being a bad thing, discord conducted in the right way can be a powerful way to unify us as human beings.

Dr. Gold is on the faculty of the University of Massachusetts, Boston Infant-Parent Mental Health program, the Brazelton Institute, and the Berkshire Psychoanalytic Institute.

Dr. Gold challenges the pursuit of ‘perfect parenting' and the ever-present ‘parent guilt' experienced with raising children.
